With an overly ambitious target of £700 in mind (yes, I do keep changing the amount, just in case you were wondering), I am offering to shave my beard into one of a range of pre-selected choices of mildly humiliating styles. You donate a sum to Space (Aylesbury) and I will video myself shaving my facial hair and then continue to sport the chosen look for a while after.
A donation of £5 or more gives you the chance to vote for the style of your choice:
- The "Dundrearie", or "Piccadilly weeper". Full side whiskers only. Early Victorian.
- The "Burnside". Moustache and "Mutton Chop" Sideburns. The classic Victorian style (pre full-on beards)
- The "Doorknocker". As made famous by Charles Dickens. Moustache and fanned-out chin beard.
- The "Lincoln". Chin and sides (neat) - no moustache.
I accept that none of these styles are worse than what I already have (A Half-Darwin), but the beard needs to go. It's just too hot.
Additional information available from 4th June 2020 at www.aylesburyspace.co.uk/waynes-beard/
Please add a comment when you donate, stating which beard style you are voting for (number 1, 2, 3 or 4).

** The "Dundrearie" may have optional 'under the chin' fuzz
